Fr. Matthew Yitiereh, former pastor of our sister parish, Our Lady of the Annunciation, and now Vicar General of the Archdiocese of
Tamale in Ghana sends MQP Lenten greetings: "I bring you greetings of the season of Lent. It is my hope and prayer that you are all doing well by God's Grace. May we intensify our prayers for God's healing mercies for the world. I certainly will pray for you all and ask you to
do same for me. Please keep safe.” ~Fr. Matthew"
Thursday, March 25, is the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord and is the feast day of our sister parish in Ghana, Our Lady of the Annunciation. At 8:30 a.m., for those that would like to join us in-
person, we will pray the rosary. It will be livestreamed so people may also join virtually. We welcome all to join us!

A STAFF REFLECTION In today’s Psalm, we hear a familiar verse, “Create a clean heart in me, O God.” For me, this Psalm is a reminder of, as we near the end of Lent, the need for continual perseverance in our Lenten promises, and especially that which helps us grow closer to God, seeking his love, mercy and forgiveness for the places where we have failed. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a place where we can lay all of our struggles, our sins, and our fallings at Christ’s feet and receive his healing love and mercy. For me, this was a Sacrament that I avoided at all costs for many years. Growing up, my dad went every other weekend. I remember asking him one time why he went so often. I just assumed he was a really bad sinner (but aren't we all, ha!). He told me he went because he loved the feeling of coming face to face with Christ and being cleansed. Even after that discussion, it took me many years to return to the Sacrament, but, once I did, I finally understood what my dad was talking about. My return to the Sacrament of Reconciliation happened in college on a retreat. All of the retreat attendees were told to put on blindfolds for the next “activity.” We were then led on a blind walk from the hall where the retreat was, into the church across the street, and seated in the pews. After being given the okay to take our blindfolds off, we were told that we now had the opportunity to go to reconciliation. There were four priests there, ready to hear our confessions. I was twenty years old and had not been to confession since my first reconciliation when I was eight. I was absolutely terrified. Not only had it been a long time, but the last couple of years had been particularly rocky as I made many, many poor choices. How could I bare to tell all of this to the priest? But slowly, everyone around me got up, went to one of the priests, and returned to their pew. A guy at the end of the row next to me, who I had seen around and was a football player, was crying so hard he could hardly breath, after returning from going to confession. But he also had a peace about him that was so attractive; like a weight had been lifted from him. I slowly got up and made my way to an available priest. He led me through the confession as I told him at had been too long to remember how to do it. He was so kind and as tears streamed down my face as I shared about my past, he too began to cry. In that moment, peace washed over me like I had never known before. I was filled with an indescribable joy. I met Christ in the confessional, and from that moment on, made it a point to go to confession more often. I began to make time to pray; to go to adoration; I relearned the rosary. I wanted to continue to experience the peace I found in the confessional, and the more I prayed, the more I came to know Christ and who He created me to be. I encourage you all to make time to go to confession this Lent, even if it has been a while. The priest is happy to walk you through it. Fr. Chad offers it all Fridays in Lent from 4:30-5:30. See mqp.org for the full schedule! Article written by Pastoral Assistant for Communications, Chelsea Smith.

Catholic Relief Services Is About Life! During the first 1000 days of life (from conception to age 2), the foundations for childhood development are laid. This period of life is critical to healthy body and brain development and, ultimately, preparing the child to reach its potential as an adult. For this reason, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) focuses on a healthy start, from the womb, for mother and child. By age two, if a child has had a diet with the nutrients it needs for good development, the child can thrive as it grows into a successful adulthood. In addition to a diet rich in nutrients needed for healthy development, CRS’ approach includes access to clean water, fighting disease, and education. You can read more about the excellent results that Catholic Relief Services obtains while partnering with communities, throughout the countries it works in, at www.crs.org/stories/first1000-days-life-are-unskippable For more information on Catholic Relief Services’ impact around the world, check out their facts and figures for fiscal year 2019. You’ll be amazed at what this organization is doing! (www.crs.org/sites/default/files/crs_fy19_facts_and_figures_en.pdf ) Catholic Relief Services has a CRS Parish Ambassador Program to help foster awareness of, educate about, and advocate for, its work internationally. This is a new ministry at MQP and if you are interested in finding out more about it, please contact Marie Taylor ([email protected]) or Barb Luxenberg ([email protected] ).

It suggests that these dimensions are not learned but
innate in the individual. The word deacon has its origin
“If anyone would serve me,” says Jesus in today’s Gospel, “let him follow me; where I am, there will my servant be.” In what way is Jesus inviting me to follow Him? What service is He asking of me? See John 12:26
